Or so thinks the Dearborn Independent, if one reads aright an editorial from a recent issue: "In dealing with the business of bank roberry, American police au- thorities may do well to consider the experience of Russia. Previous to the revolution in the country, RED PROPAGANDA FINANCED ITSELF BY ROBBERY. The party adopted a regular policy of what was called 'expropriation,' that is, they violently confiscated wealth for their political purposes. They did not call it robbery; it was war against society .. . Express trains were held up, government funds were stolen, banks were robbed, and when very rarely the robbers were captured, the loot was never found." We are further enlightened as to current history by the following state- ment: "The most expert criminals in the world, most of whom are now of- ficials of Soviet Russia, were engaged in this work of foraging on society for the purpose of recruiting the rev- olutionary treasury." Fortunately the sphere of influence of the Deaborn In- dependent is not of sufficient magni- tude to include Russia, and members of the Soviet cabinet are thereby saved from twinges of conscience. The editorial suggests that it would- be well to have the police include the possibility of these wide programs for ckillful robbery in the United States as a part of the operations of the Treasury Department of the World Revolution. "There work has all the earmarks of a program," the Dear- born Independent concludes. It is our belief that the editorial of the Dearborn Independent has all the earmarks of propaganda. Fortun- ately, people have more or less earn- ed not to believe all they read; and hence when editorials such as these apyear, the "Red" bugaboo is recog- nized as such and nothing more. A WAR ON BUNK AND DEMAGOGUES "This is the end of the era of bunk," said William M. Butler just before his efforts for the nomination of Presi- dent Coolidge bore fruit in the Repub- lican convention at Cleveland. Such a statement cannot make the general public very optimistic for "bunk" is a hardy weed and difficult to uuproot. But it shows, perhaps, the new trend in politics. And it is a trend that can be truly hailed with pleasure. The end of the era of bunk would be a long step toward the political millennium. It cannot be accomplished in one step for bunk is conventional; it is expected in polit- ics; and its presence is so habitual that its absence alone would tend to make in conspicuous. Even more encouraging than the statement of Mr. Butler, was the first speech of Gen. Charles G. Dawes aft- er he was nominated for Vice-Presi-' dent. running rife in the world and we, here in the United States, are feeling its devastating effects. All good Re- publicans and all good Democrats who put their country above their party demand the beginning of an era of common sense in public dis- cussions. In the campaign which is before me, and as a duty which I owe not simply to a party, but to the citizens of the United State, I1 pledge to adhere to the truth and to1 the common sense conclusions to] be drawn therefrom. As to the1 demagogue on the stump, whatever may be his party, I want it dis- tinctly upnderstood that in the coin- ing campaign I ask no quarter and will give none." The announcement of a war on bunk and a crusade against demagogues comes as a relief to those citizens who have grown weary of the cheap and fruitless era of the "hard-boil- ed" politician. Truth can do more than bunk has ever done. Indeed, there is an old proverb to the effect that "if men would once consider one another reasonably, they would eith- er reconcile their differences, or more amicably maintain them." TRAINING VIA IHUMILIATION Young fellows leave their homes to spend four years or more at college and expect to return to their mothers' loving arms, well rounded and world- ly men. They spend half of their time at a university like Michigan before finding out just what an education means, and the latter portion of their sojourn is then necessarily occupied with the task of finding out how to make the best of that education. There are many worn-out reasons given for the failure of colleges to accomplish its purpose but one in particular is responsible for more in- nocent disappointments than any oth- er. Self-assurance, confidence in word and act, are uncultivated in almost every boy who comes to college, Even after several years of academic train- ing many lack that self-reliance which Emerson puts as a keynote to suc- cess. It is not a difficult thing to impress the student with the value of this trait. In fact with the present sys- tem of class recitations he would be forced to cultivate his confidence if failure in quizzes was made sufficient- ly humiliating. We do not want to force students to their work but they could none the less be made to feel their lack of self-reliance through embarrassment. The man who goes out into the world, knowing what he can do and confident in himself through all the trials to which he is subjected has the advantage on the uncertain fellow who never quite catches up to him. This year the public has the pleas- ure of contrasting three political con- ventions of considerable magnitude. The Republican national convention at Cleveland; the Democratic national convention at New York; and the so- called "radical" convention at Cleve- land. It is interesting to note how three different groups of citizens with varying ideas as to politics and gov- ernment will handle the same nation- al problems. To a woman is attributed the first remark showing any originality and sense that was made at the Democrat- ic convention to date. "Wall street is as much a part of America as Main street," declared Mrs. Dr, Kate Wal- Ier Barrett, of Virginia. And the del- egates rose to a man to voice their approval. .r®v..AA AAkll& U! . u 6 A yl i I v ' r AAAA AAAAAAAA A AA 11 -V - - - W GLEANINGS By A.E DSka saai a * * --- a som Ah A 'v' . w . - _ THE NEW BROOM OF EUROPE} According to reports, a new era of housecleaning is due in Europe and, the latest, self-elected weilders of the political broom and dustpan are to be Messrs. MacDonald in Great Britian and Herriot in France. The proclaim- ed purpose is that of doing away with the rubbish of the old governments,! and of solving the problems of their countries on the new and enlightened basis of Socialism. Hercules attempt- ed no more ditficult task when he un- dertook to cleanse the Augean stables in a single day. It will be remember- ed that the redoubtable hero of mytho- logy accomplished his purpose by turning the river of Alpheus andl Peneus from their regular courses; and it remains to be seen whether or' not Messrs. MacDonald and Herriot can discover on this earth any two rivers, figuratively speaking, of suf- ficient volume and strength with which to accomplish such re-direc- tion. This allied convention is scheduled to meet in London, July 1, for a dis- cussion of the most satisfactory means of putting the Dawes scheme of rep- arations into effect. And now one of the first things that Messrs. MacDon- ald and Herriot do is to issue a cry to the United States for help. This country ought to express sincere ap- preciation of the invitation, but we can see no very convincing reasons why it should accept. In the first place, Mr. MacDonald himself termed this conference the "inter-Allied con- ference." But the United States is not one of the Allies. Again, Mr. Mac- Donald before the House of Commons, spoke of the coming conference as an attempt to coordinate the terms of the Treaty of Versailles with those of the Dawes report. But the United States is not a party to the Versailles Treaty and therefore cannot be expected to be a party in interpreting it. And lastly, the United States has furnish- ed, in the Dawes report, what the Powers themselves concede to be the most valuable contribution to the settlement of Europe's chief problems. Are we expected now to administer and enforce it? That seems to be un- called for. Apparently Washington has decided upon a compromise between being tot- ally absent and wholly present. The ' American Ambassador at the Court of St. James, Frank B. Kellogg, has been instructed to participate in the coming conference, "for the purpose of deal- ing with such matters as affect the the interests of the United States and otherwise for the purposes of inform- ation." That, certainly, is a large or- der; and perhaps it is better thus, for universial good will is highly import- ant. EQUAL RIGHTS FOR WOMEN The National Women's Party again creeps into the limelight at the Dem- ocratic national convention. The Party seeks what it chooses to call "equal rights for women." It de- manded this from the Republicans (and got it) and now the Democrats follow suit. A bland and similing stranger eas- es up to him and whispers, "What's the matter, old man In a jam on pro- hibition?" The defendant nods. The stranger consolingly places an arm around his newly found friend and says, "Is that all? Don't let that worry you. May- be I can fix it up with my friend the judge over there," pointing to a man about to enter a private office. "Do you know him?" asks the de- lighted bootlegger, his face lighting up. "Do I know him?" the lind strang- ,er laughs. "Come with me," They go into the room and approach the judge deferntially. "Hello, Jim," growls the judge shaking hands. Friend of mine," says Jim, point- ing to the trembling and excited vic- tim. "Friend of mine and a good scout. Coming up before you. Can't you let it slide along somehow" The judge professes great indigna- tion but the two men retire to a corner and converse earnestly for five minutes. The judge leaves and Jim returns to his friend. "He doesn't like to do it but he thinks you're a friend of mine and he'll fix it up for $300." The money is paid and Jim disap- pears. The case is called. But an-' other judge, the real judge, sits at the bench. And the bootlegger goes to jail for ten days. Moral: Put not thy trust in smiles. It isn't really the Ku Klux Klan, the Le. -cwt of Nations, and other prob- lems that are causing trouble; its what men think about them that creates all the noise. We are all Adam's children, but silk makes the differences. All summer long you will be able to enjoy the wholesome food and restful quiet at TUTTLE'S LUNCH ROOM Phone 150 3,S iL,-ynard St. South of Maj There is nothing new under the sun,-not even "The New Woman." In "Colonial Women of Affairs," re- cently published by Houghton Mifflin Company, Elizabeth Anthony Dexter has uncovered a mine of fascinating and authentic information. That ladies engaged in trade, carried on horseshoeing, soapmaking, and even concocted the fore-runners of our mod- ern home brew and patent medicine, she has proved conclusively. "Per- haps," Miss Dexter writes, "one reason why "the new woman" has found less resistance to her activities in the United States than elsewhere is be- cause of this tradition of work, and the respect and the self-respect won quiet- ly and unconsciously by these women of an earlier generation. The women of Puritan days were no more all the "Pilgrim Mother" of poem and statue, or the colonial dame of fancy-dress ball than we today are all missionary heroine or fashionplate model."

ThAT HELPS ! To the Editor: I hope that other grey-headed and bald-headed members of the SummerI school student body are getting as re- freshing a "kick" from reading the editorial page of The Summer Mich- igan Daily as the writer. The virility of the architects of this page in ex- pressing opinion without fear or fav- or is heartening to one who has long made opinion subservient to diplom-I acy. The Michigan Daily brings back by undergraduate days with greater vividness than I thought possible. Were it not for occasional twinges of rheumatism and other reminders of decrepitude I would feel like leading a class rush or other equally stren- uous college function. Seriously, aft- er having been absent from my native state since "befo' de wah," I find that the U. of M. is right here she belongs -in the front line of educational ef- fort and accomplishment. I am sure The Michigan Daily is an important agency in keeping up the morale of the University to this end.1 M'4 } RM. Equal rights for women? What are the women after? What is it that they desire which has not been grant- ed them? They have the ballot. They have invaded every business and pro- fession. There are women lawyers and some of them are better than the men. There are women doctors, women farmers, women who run taxi cabs, women who serve on police forces; exclusively male sanctuaries in business and politics have disap- peared. Equal rights for women? What in the world is there that the women think they have not? What- ever it is, we predict they will soon get it-or take it. HARD LIFE Verily the life of the bootlegger is a trying one. First he runs the risk of being arrested for his illicit traf- fic; then he is swindled in the very halls of justice. Efforts have been made recently to stop the practices of bond sharks and men who represent themselves as "fixers" or misrepres- ent themsleves as attorneys. But the practice of muleting distressed viol- ators of the Volstead act goes on. Scene-a hall of justice in a big city. Time-almost any day. A de- jected bootlegger appears on the stage, ready to enter a plea. He doesn't mind the fine, but he hates to think of going to jail. Gloomily he loiters until his case is called.
